Shemot 22:17-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

17. (16) If her av utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay kesef according to the mohar habetulah (marriage contract, dowry of the virgins).

18. (17) Thou shalt not allow a mekhashefah (witch, sorceress) to live.

19. (18) Kol shochev (every one having sexual relations) with a behemah shall surely be put to death.

20. (19) He that sacrificeth unto elohim (the g-ds), other than unto Hashem only, he shall be destroyed.

21. (20) Thou shalt neither mistreat a ger, nor oppress him; for ye were gerim in Eretz Mitzrayim.

22. (21) Ye shall not cause pain to any almanah, or yatom.

23. (22) If thou cause them pain in any way, and they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry;

24. (23) And My wrath shall be kindled, and I will kill you with the cherev; and your nashim shall be almanot, and your banim shall be yetomim.

25. (24) If thou lend kesef to any of My people that is poor among thee, thou shalt not be to him as a nosheh (a usurer), neither shalt thou lay upon him neshekh (usury, interest).

26. (25) If thou at all take the cloak of thy re'a as security, thou shalt return it unto him by bo hashemesh (sunset);

27. (26) For that is his covering only, it is his cloak for his skin; wherein shall he sleep? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto Me, that I will hear; for I am channun (compassionate).

28. (27) Thou shalt not revile Elohim, nor curse the nasi of thy people.

29. (28) Thou shalt not delay to offer thy fullness offering (i.e., bikkurim) or thy kohen's heave offering (i.e. terumah); the bechor of thy banim shalt thou present unto Me.

30. (29) Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy tzon; shivat yamim it shall be with its em; on the yom hashemi'ni thou shalt give it Me.

31. (30) And ye shall be anshei kodesh unto Me; neither shall ye eat any basar that is terefah (torn of beasts) in the sadeh; ye shall cast it to the kelev (dog).
